Abstract
A system includes energy modules configured to output power to electrical loads based on load demands. The system also includes control circuitry configured to control an amount of power transferred from each of the energy modules to the at least one load based on received sensor data from the energy modules, detect failure of at least one source cell of the energy modules based on the received sensor data from the energy modules, and control a voltage supplied by the energy modules to the at least one load within a predetermined operating band when the failure is detected.

A system comprising:
- energy modules configured to output power to at least one load based on load demands;
- and
- control circuitry configured to
- control an amount of power transferred from each of the energy modules to the at least one load based on received sensor data from the energy modules,
- detect failure of at least one source cell of the energy modules based on the received sensor data from the energy modules, and
- control a voltage supplied by the energy modules to the at least one load within a predetermined operating band when the failure is detected.
A method comprising:
- controlling an amount of power transferred from energy modules to at least one load based on received sensor data from the energy modules;
- detecting failure of at least one source cell of the energy modules based on the received sensor data from the energy modules;
